I'm a former lawyer who ditched the courtroom for the edit room—trading suits for scripts and subpoenas for storyboards. After cutting my teeth in New York city’s indie cinema scene (hauling gear, shooting in sketchy basements, and surviving on EVERYTHING bagels and ambition), I returned to Cyprus to get my hands dirty in the local film industry. There, somewhere between DIT wrangling and existential dread, I realized I was destined to tell stories, not just capture them. Since then, I’ve written and directed short films and taken a flying leap into the EPISODIC world of television DEVELOPMENT. My breakthrough came with “The Midnight Shift”, a limited series i co-created that won the HBO Europe Award at the Sarajevo Film Festival—catapulting me into Serial Eyes at the German Film and Television Academy Berlin, where I became the first and only Cypriot ever accepted. AFTER GRADUATION I joined Torino SeriesLab developing a half-hour crime comedy (“crimedy,” if you will) for the German market. My original series have since been optioned by producers in Germany and Bulgaria, but my compass keeps pointing home. In 2023 I brought my first unapologetically Cypriot story to Series Mania’s Writers Campus. A year later, I joined the Canneseries Writers Club—a fancy name for a very cool room of fellow TV nerds. Now, I’m all-in on Cyprus: one of the last European territories without a binge-worthy, export-ready series. TV is a cultural time capsule—and it’s time we bury something worth digging up.
